Not just you, but all who have posted here need to review the Rules for User Conduct.
6. Be respectful. This is harder to define, but will be moderated. An example would be disrespecting RX-8 owners who chose an automatic transmission over a manual, and "sneering" at them or acting like they're idiots for the choice they made. If a moderator believes you are being purposefully disrespectful to a fellow member, you will be notified. Bashing for the sake of bashing will not be tolerated.

Well you could use what Mazda—the company that actually designed the engine—recommends in the Owner's Manual. Or you could use what the computer programmers, salesmen, IT guys, electrical engineers and students (some who have graduated high school) recommend here.
Tough call.

there are also hard prove that engine wears out immaturely, the wear was "never before seen", at least not before 100+K miles.
There are also people with mechanical science degree.
Hmm, even the 13B-REW never had these kind of immature wear problem. I really wonder why.
Unlike the older days, OE nowdays will recommend things that can make it thru the warranty period, maybe a bit longer after that, but thats about it. cuz OE found out that, if everybody's car can last 200K miles like the old days, there will be MUCH less new car sales.

Im starting to think 20w50 for summer, and 10w40 for winter.
meh. Im no engineer nor the person who designed rotary engine. but Im a person who loves this engine, actually spent quite a lot of my time to study this engine's spec, tech sheet, older rotary engine's history, their specs, their oil requirements, real world people's results, oil technology, etc.

There's a DIY on oil changes in the DIY section. That may be of interest to you.
